Styling Your Console Table Like a Pro: Acacia Root Magic
Hi roomies—it’s Roma! Today we’re switching gears from dining tables and coffee tables to another horizontal hero in your home: the console table. Yep, that slim beauty that sits between spaces and secretly sets the vibe.
And not just any console—today I’m showing you how I styled my acacia root console table (yes, she’s a statement piece) that perfectly defines the line between my dining room and living room. Want to see the full transformation in action? Watch the video here: Rooms by Roma Console Styling.
Why a Console Table Is More Than Just “A Table”
Console tables do so much more than hold keys or random mail. When styled with intention, they:
Define zones in an open floor plan without blocking sightlines.
Show off sculptural beauty (like the natural rings and butterfly joints on my Phillips Collection acacia root console).
Keep flow chic yet functional, guiding the eye while letting the room breathe.
Think of it as the ultimate multitasker: part divider, part display, all fabulous.
Styling Secrets: Layers, Levels & Love
Here’s my styling breakdown—the Roma way:
Start with a star – I anchored my table with a gorgeous marble lamp (because glow is life).
Add personality with books – Cue the open-book riser moment for depth and intrigue.
Mix materials – Stone, brass, and wood keep things layered, never flat.
Work in levels & odd numbers – A golden styling rule: the eye loves a triangle.
Honor the base – I tucked soft throws and pillows underneath so the acacia root still shines without clutter.
Polish it off – Quick pro tip: scrape off tag residue the safe way (your wood will thank you).
It’s all about letting the table’s natural form sing while giving it supporting cast members that elevate—not compete.
Designer Perks You’ll Love
Here’s the thing: special pieces like this don’t just pop up at retail stores. Working with a designer means you get access to one-of-a-kind finds—like my sculptural Phillips Collection beauty—that make your home feel elevated and personal.
So, if you’ve ever scrolled endlessly online only to see the same five console tables, that’s your sign: invest in designer sourcing. Your space deserves it.
